Review of Final Destination 3

Death is fucking complicated.

Nice one. Not as good as the first and second, but it comes close. The idea of having the clues to the deaths of the survivors of the accident in the photographs taken on that fateful night is definitely original. Plus the deaths weren't too shabby. The tanning bed deaths and the nail gun death of Erin Ulmer (Johnson) definitely took the top prize. Gorier than the first, this film doesn't lose its momentum, just like the roller coaster which took the lives of some of the high school students who were riding it.
Wendy Christensen (Winstead) is the photographer for her high school's senior yearbook, and during their class trip to the local carnival, she uses her digital camera to capture rare moments of the fun antics of her friends and classmates. While boarding the wildest roller coaster in the carnival, Devil's Flight (the actor who provided the voice over for the Devil is Tony Todd, known as the mortician in the previous FD films), Wendy receives a vision of the roller coaster losing its grip on the railings and throwing her and her classmates out and down to their deaths. Frantic, she tries to warn the roller coaster operator. However, he doesn't believe her, and instead has her and some of her classmates thrown out of the ride. Wendy's boyfriend, Jason (Moss) and best friend, Carrie (Holden) are left on the ride and are killed. Wendy, along with Carrie's boyfriend, Kevin (Merriman), and the rest of their classmates are given a new lease on life. But not for long. Death cannot be cheated, and now, it has come back in full force to claim the lives of those who weren't supposed to survive.
Wickedly cool, and out of the three FD films, this is the first film where no one survives. Oops, spoiler right there. :p Thrills and chills, and if you're a bit morbid and twisted like I am (lmao), you might just enjoy the way the deaths were pulled off.
